Asking God And Learning To Listen

“We have not because we ask not.” James 4:2. This is a short meditation to teach and remind us to ask God for what we need while learning to listen quietly for his presence. Whether we realize it or not, God is whispering and speaking. We simply have to practice listening to his still, small voice. This meditation is part 3 of a 15-day series of short meditations helping one become more "Re-Enchanted" with their existence.
